That could be tricky. As far as I know I'm the oldest surviving member of my family (parents died 36 years ago). If anyone is interested I have recorded a few of my own (mostly WW 2) childhood memories on my web site at http://www.jimella.me.uk/memories.cfm Nothing to do with Leicestershire, though. I grew up in Swindon, Wilts. My Leicestershire ancestors were 16th century, and presumably before that. It's past time I sent some details to this list in case I have distant relatives here or possibly even someone can help me track some ancestors down. I'll try a separate message so the subject matches the content.
